RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

IN THE MATTER OF: 

DOCKET NO:  98-01419 
COUNSEL:  NONE 

HEARING DESIRED:  NO 

Applicant  requests that his general discharge be  upgraded to an 
honorable discharge.  Applicant's submission is at Exhibit A .  
The  appropriate Air  Force  office  evaluated  applicant's request 
and provided  an advisory opinion to the  Board  recommending  the 
application  be  denied  (Exhibit C). 
The  advisory  opinion  was 
forwarded to the applicant for review and response  (Exhibit D). 
As of this date, no response has been received by this office. 
After  careful  consideration  of  applicant's  request  and  the 
available evidence  of  record, we  find  insufficient  evidence  of 
error or injustice to warrant  corrective action.  The facts and 
opinions stated in the advisory opinion appear to be based on the 
evidence  of  record  and  have  not  been  rebutted  by  applicant. 
Absent persuasive evidence applicant was denied rights to which 
entitled,  appropriate  regulations  were  not  followed,  or 
appropriate  standards  were  not  applied,  we  find  no  basis  to 
disturb the existing record. 

Accordingly, applicant's request is denied. 
The Board staff is directed to inform applicant of this decision. 
Applicant should also be informed that this decision is final and 
will only 'be reconsidered upon the presentation of  new relevant 
evidence  which  was  not  reasonably  available  at  the  time  the 
application was filed. 

Members  of  the Board Mr.  Henry C. Saunders, Ms. Ann  L. Heidig, 
and  Ms.  Sophie  A.  Clark  considered  this  application  on 
10 December 1998 in accordance with the provisions OF Air Force 
Instruction 36-2603, and the governing statuy, 10, y S . C .  1552.

MEMORANDUM FOR AFBCMR 

FROM:  HQ AFPCDPPRS 

550 C Street West Ste 1 1  
Randolph AFB TX  78 150-47 13 

SUBJECT:  Application for Correction of Military Records - 

The applicant, while serving in the grade of airman basic, was discharged from the Air Force 15 

Oct 58 under the provisions of AFR 39-16 (Unsuitability) and received an under honorable 
(general) discharge.  He served 03 years, 08 months and 15 days total active service. 

Requested Action.  The applicant is requesting that his discharge be upgraded to honorable. 

Basis for Request.  Applicant only states that he believes that if a complete 201 file was 

completed, records would show outstanding service prior to cause of Art  15. 

Facts.  On 19 Aug 58, applicant’s commander recommended that appropriate action be 
initiated against the applicant to discharge him from service for unsuitability.  Commander 
indicated applicant was negligent toward all aspects of service life.  He had been counseled 
repeatedly in an attempt to make him useful to the Air force but, all counseling had been to no 
avail.  His attitude continued to remain poor, his response to any task was hostile and apathetic 
and his performance was unsatisfactory. An  Evaluation Officer was appointed to review the case 
file of the applicant and indicated that the applicant had been demoted twice for infractions against 
the Military Code and recommended that the applicant be discharged with a general discharge. 
The discharge authority approved the recommendation and directed that applicant be discharged 
under the provisions of AFR 39- 16 and that he be issued an under honorable conditions (general) 
discharge certificate. 

Di-scussion. This case has been reviewed and the discharge was consistent with the procedural 
and substantive requirements of the discharge regulation and was within the sound discretion of 
the discharge authority and that the applicant was provided full administrative due process.  The 
records indicate member’s military service was reviewed and appropriate action was taken. 

- -

 

Recommendation.  Applicant did not submit any new evidence or identi@ any errors in the 
discharge processing nor provide facts which warrant an upgrade of the discharge he received. 
Accordingly, we recommend applicant's request be denied.  He has not filed a timely request.
